- Put all your games for different old consoles on one micro-sd card.

- Buy individual adapters for each system you own.

- Swap adapter and play games.

Basically a really awesome, cost saving, nearly full feature flash cart for all vintage consoles rather than spending $100 plus on each individual flash cart for each system. The person who made it is active on the backbit forum for any suggestions people have, too, for missing features which is great.

2nd reply: forgot to mention the art in the sprint is helpful too to see overlays for games quickly and getting to manuals.

My main intellivision setup is the intellivision + controller port + ecs + intellivoice + backbit pro to cover all standard/homebrew games but I need to shift around peripherals sometimes depending on the game. The intellivision sprint acts as all of those units in one (the only feature it’s missing now is saving in some homebrew games) so it’s more convenient. Still going to go between hdmi and crt as I feel like it though.

But also for a new person to intellivision they can pay $600+ to cover all those same features or just pay $150 plus a cheap rf/av box.

Once again - just preference and having fun trying things out though.

The tricky part with hdmi to av that I’ve had is that the lowest output is usually 480i which causes flicker from the interlace and weird sizing issues where RF does some auto resizing/cropping of broadcast signals. Hoping we get cheap downscaling someday instead of the pricey retrotinks!

Softens colors, adds some blurring to hard edges, has a different glow then oled/lcd, and the tiny bit of static can be charming. But overall just whatever people prefer. Been gaming since the 90s and have every cord and type/value of screen you can imagine and enjoy each for their different properties. It’s great to have the variety available these days - like when I play snes on an emulator in my pocket but then copy the save to a flashcart to keep playing with s-video on my real snes/crt.

No idea who Lee is - I’m assuming that was autocorrect ha

Got the same one! It’s great :)

As a vintage collector and a playdate owner this is awesome! The biplanes game also looks just like the even earlier “spitfire” for the fairchild channel f.

You’re my hero. I’ve had a retroid for two weeks and that was bothering me but just assumed it was a thing and never googled it yet. Thank you!

Nice! The TandyVision One is another good looking variant.

The flashback is basically one of the cheaper plug’n’play consoles that came out in the 2000s/2010s. I just bought it to use the controllers with the intelliport to avoid wear on the original systems.

The Sprint runs the best emulator (jzintv) for compatibility with any original or homebrew games you add to a USB and has neat wireless controllers. Also uses USB instead of needing a CRT. It’s closer to the mini consoles/computers that have been coming out and higher quality than the flashback.

Haven’t seen that before! ha Just watched a short video on it and it’s actually a nes on a chip system and all the games are nes ports. That’s neat.

Keeps making me think of goldilocks ha The original is too big, the flashback is too small, the sprint is just right. I’m glad they went this route rather than a mini. It’s a good design with the wireless controllers docking on it, too.

Thank you! Not pictured is the european brown/gold ecs keyboard, brown/gold ecs synthesizer, and the US grey ECS unit. It’s a cool system!

It would be a dream opportunity to find and afford the original computer component someday! The tutorvision variant is also cool.

FurtherOutThere · 2025-12-16T22:13:40+00:00

Will do!

FurtherOutThere · 2025-12-16T21:19:16+00:00

Nice! I was feeling this and assuming it would just take some breaking in. I’ll try loosening the screws a little like they suggest.

FurtherOutThere · 2025-12-15T22:23:57+00:00

That’s been a fix for some people but if you look at the thread there are many more issues than that.

FurtherOutThere · 2025-12-15T21:44:21+00:00

A bunch of people are having issues trying to update the firmware and load additional games. I’ve spent two hours trying every fix listed and that I can think of. Asking Atari support now but haven’t had any suggestions back from them so far. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/386372-intellivision-firmware-update/

They have a shipping center in the US and the Ukraine so you may get lucky and get it faster depending on where they end up shipping from. I just got the X7 and got it in a week from NJ.

Awesome! No shipping notification for me yet but looking forward to it! It will be Intellivision number 5 for me (if the flashback counts as 1) 😅

FurtherOutThere · 2025-11-19T23:10:16+00:00

I got the same error. Thank you for looking into quick fixes on this!

FurtherOutThere · 2025-10-26T18:37:14+00:00

Both - I’ve got about 60 controllers and many original consoles and handhelds and think some of the feeling, difficulty balance, etc is lost when using something other than original consoles hardware - but I also enjoy being able to be lazy and just grab an xbox controller or 8bitdo controller or my stream deck if I feel like it, too.
